Hidden Moon

It's not so often
That I get to see the moon,
Clouds come in too soon,
Or the city lights consume
The splendor of the nightscape.

Beautifully done here, Jim !! Reminds me of S.F. and even though I live further north in a much smaller town, it rains so that I'm not much of a stargazer ... smile ... congratulations on having your writing featured this week!!

So sad to not be able to witness the beauty of the moon, the magnificence as it serves as a romantic icon and just from a luminary perspective. Your thoughts are expressed so clearly and smoothly for a wonderful read. Michael
